We have to ad
mit, we’re a bit confused about the direction that Tavis Smiley is going in. His rapid and massive bridge-burning streak seems to be running out of prospects after several public run-ins with some of the black community’s most notable and powerful figures. Some of us think we know Tavis and some of us accuse him of being insanely jealous of President Obama. But do we know him? Let’s look at his past situations and see how well he fared before his Poor People’s campaign and self proclaimed demands that President Obama be “accountable”….
I side with Tavis. Tom Joyner, Al Sharpton and Steve Harvey are the sell outs. Al used to to criticise the President but has since beeen co-opted. Maybe when he changed his hairdo it changed more than his locks. Steve is a comedienne, propped up by ghost writers nuff said. Tavis raises real issues. It’s just sad our President is black and the recipient of his harsh but true criticism. We need to stand for truth and not popularity or ratings or money. If we would support truth tellrs then they would not have to bow to media moguls and in teh end true voices could be heard vice media and radio talking heads.
